When it comes to Penang, there are plenty of fun activities that can be done here aside from stuffing ourselves with Char Koay Teow, Laksa or even Hokkien Mee. That’s right, our tiny island is packed with some really good fun-in-the-sun activities too. We even have a theme park on our island itself, known as Escape Theme Park.
